hvve neighbourhods/communiteis; I won't go on, but "Stanley Park
Neighbourhood" is probably even quite googleable in that form. I put Stanley Park there just because of the name, not because it should go to that article; yes, it's part ofg the West End but so, ultimately, is Coal Harbour; or what was Coal Harbour before it got extended west to burrard. Som e areas were just known by their intersection names, like 16th & Heather, long the core of what fraoncophone community/commerical life there was other than Maillardville. Never an official neighbourhood; but still there.

I'll have to look at the list a little closer; but I do have my reservations about following city neighbourhood boundaries, which are bureaucratic creations which, as in Dunbar-Southlands, tie together two very different districts; I wouldn't consider someone living south of 41st, or 45th anyway, as being part of "Dunbar"; more like
Southwest Marine Drive; and Southlands is ONLY the flat area south of the golf courses. Is Musqueam listed, btw?

to some kind of consensus for categorizing neighbourhoods, since others on wikivan have commented on the issue for various areas. I don't think authentic versus inauthentic works though, since even dubious neighbourhoods have currency and need to be listed. Also note that the template has "main" neighbourhoods and "other areas" I believe because it was decided to defer to city hall for official recognition.
357:
I share your cynicism, but don't think south main is particularly exceptional. Shaughnessy was entirely a creation of the CPR to make money, but its still a geographic entity, and even
Commercial Drive is called that for a reason. That said, I'm not stuck on the issue. Perhaps we should probably work
458:
I don't see why the government version of sociocultural reality should prevail; it's political/POV and it's clearly "westside" by being the 100-400 Block of West
Hatings/Pender. I daresay the shops on hte 300 block of either, which are part of hte neighbourhood, consider themselves such; yes, the

True, authenticity of origin is not critical, but currency is. And, currently, SoMa or (South Main) is not used by residents of the area, and it's basically a neogistic geographic term. Perhaps if the name existed for 5+ years and was used by people in the area it should be listed - but I think for

What about dead neighbourhoods? I was surprised to read the article on Little Italy saying that it no longer existed. That got me to thinking about other neighbourhoods that have either disappeared through metamorphosis, migration, or destruction by "the man." I added Hogan's Alley to the list, and

See? In an older-era listing of city neighbourhoods, there was a

I removed that and have my doubts about its validity at all; nobody except Korean promoters use that term, and if ever at all it's used to mean the North & Lougheed area, which is
Coquitlam/Burnaby, or other areas in the 'burbs". How this article got written when Robsonstrasse doesn't have an

Mosquito Flats aka
Malaria Flats is the southern part of what the city calls Kitsilano, south of maybe 10th up to King Ed or so, from the foot of the hill below Arbutus over to Alma/Dunbar....a vast, festering mosquito swamp, hence the malarial associations....I learned from a Kerrisdale old-guard

Hmm. When it's hyphenated I suppose. e.g. Dunbar-Southlands, which is two very different neighbourhoods but lumped together here as an "official" city neighbourhood; didn't check for "Alma" but it should be there....hmmm
Mosquito Flats the city's marketing department got rid of a long time ago.

such a place. I'm for moving Robson and the GED down to "other locations"; either that or change hte title of the first section to read "Downtown areas" rather tahn "Downtown neighbourhoods". "Downtown South" is a term that got tossed around quite a bit back in the '90s/'80s - did it never get

I have no problem to leave victory square in 'downtown'. I agree with you about the other things too. Anyway, if someone slicks on
University Endowment Lands, they'll find out that it's unincorporated if they read the article so it's fine. Probably there should be a new category for the native

I was the person who set up the new format. I am sorry if I stepped on your toes. If you do not like it you have my support to reformat it. The reason I set it up like this, is that the old list was mixing all kinds of locations, ie neighborhoods, streets, locations, parks, together. This is

Looking at other major canadian cities, it seems like the template invoves some sort of "financial district/downtown" amalgamation.....why don't we have one? anyways, i will add downtown vancouver to the template, so feel free to discuss this with me. thanks.
478:
I agree that koreatown is not a neighborhood, I just didn't want to remove any items from the list until the new format was accepted. Stanley park also makes sense to put in the downtown peninsula, although I have doubts that neighborhood is the correct term.

or BIAs, might be a worthwhile list/set of articles; not as spam but "because they're tehre". As a placename it has no validity except to Kkorean promoters; I'm thinking it should be deleted a a place that doesn't exist except as a promotioanal/real estate

would love to know what the heck Mosquito Flats refers to. Japantown aint what it was before the war, but that's covered. So my question is: should these be categorized separately somehow, or just integrated into what's already here?

the south of Main area, it's more like middle Main, but that's besides the point... it is a name recently created by entrepreneurs, and perhaps deserves an article (that is questionable) but definitely not official recognition.

I agree, but for simplicity's sake we should probably stick to the City of Vancouver's official neighbourhoods map. That's what I think anyway, as they define the boundaries very clearly. -→
